At Least 6 Reasons to Take Action Today

Subject: [Duct Tape] At Least 6 Reasons to Take Action Today





My latest book, The Commitment Engine - Making Work Worth It, is due to ship next week and I wanted to contact you my readers and say #1 thank you, and #2 you inspire me, and for that I feel profoundly blessed.

So, I suppose that could come off as pandering to an audience that I hope ultimately decides to buy a copy of this book, but the truth is, this book is personal. I put the unvarnished story of what I've learned along this crazy, chaotic, awesome entrepreneurial journey into this book and I shared the simple, arresting stories of people and companies that I draw inspiration from today. Mostly though, I think this book can be very important for anyone searching for greater meaning in the work they do.

Now, that may sound smug or boastful even, but why do this if you don't believe your work has the power to transform lives?

In this book, I lay out a path for discovering personal clarity, clarity of purpose and clarity of strategy. I introduce specific ways to develop a culture of shared commitment and how to nurture a community drawn to this perfect sense of clarity. So, yes, this is different book for me. But, in the vein of everything else I've written, it's a highly practical book as well.

I've said repeatedly over the years, even before I could call myself an author, that books are an incredibly inexpensive investments in personal and business growth and play a key role in the act of lifelong learning.

And so, today I would like to give you an incentive to take action, invest in your growth and perhaps readdress everything you think about your business and your career.

So here's a really good reason to act today. - http://makingworkworthit.com/special/

Order 1 copy of The Commitment Engine this week and I'll also include access to a Bonus Audio Library featuring inspirational interviews I've conducted with the following authors and thought leaders all of whom contributed quotes for this book.
  •  Seth Godin, author of Linchpin
  •  Steven Pressfield, author of The War of Art and Turning Pro
  •  Chris Guillebeau, author of The $100 Startup
  •  Guy Kawasaki, bestselling author of Enchantment; former chief evangelist of Apple
  •  Derek Sivers, founder, CD Baby, sivers.org
  •  Nancy Duarte, CEO, Duarte, Inc.; author of Slide:ology and Resonate

Still not convinced? Download and read the Introduction and 1st chapter and see if the message resonates before you do anything. - http://makingworkworthit.com/special/

Thank you!

John Jantsch

P.S. - I've also put together some interesting options for those wanting to buy bulk copies - including getting on a plane and speaking to your conference - but, that special offers end Oct 11th - http://makingworkworthit.com/special/

Do What You're Good At and the Money Will Follow
By John Jantsch
Build A Small Business Plan
There's a well-worn line of thought in entrepreneurial circles that suggests that if do what you love, the money will come. This one phrase has probably done more to hold business owners back from discovering their greatness than anything else I can imagine.
